Growing majority of US is against trans athletes competing outside birth gender: Gallup poll
A growing majority of Americans believe transgender athletes should have to compete under their birth gender — with more than half also convinced that changing gender itself is “morally wrong,” according to a new Gallup poll Monday.
Gallup’s Values and Beliefs survey shows that a whopping 69% — nearly seven out of every 10 people — now believe trans athletes should only be able to enter events under their birth gender, up from 61% in 2021.
The opposition was even more notable among Republicans, with an overwhelming 93% against athletes being able to switch gender categories, up 7 points from the 2021 survey.
But even Democrats were divided, with 47% in favor of athletes being able to switch — yet 48% against.
